In this episode of the Untangled Mind Podcast, Piper Harris unpacks Carl Jung’s famous quote: “The best political, social, and spiritual work we can do is to withdraw the projection of our shadow onto others.”

Drawing from a recent dialogue on LinkedIn, Piper explores how projection shows up in the therapy profession itself through defensiveness, appeals to authority, and circular reasoning that protect therapists but fail clients.

The conversation examines why modern therapy has drifted toward validation over transformation, how this drift leaves clients turning to AI for answers, and why the profession must confront its own shadow if it wants to remain relevant.

This is a call to action for therapists to stop projecting, start owning their blind spots, and return to the real work of psychotherapy: lasting change.
